Wood starts for Burnley as Long owners subjected to team sheet ordeal

Following a week of interest from the Fantasy Premier League community, Chris Wood (£6.1m) keeps his place in the starting line-up as Burnley travel to Norwich.

The New Zealand international is paired up-front with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m), who has four attacking returns in his last five appearances since the Premier League restart.

The Clarets may be short in defence, with Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) and Ben Mee (£4.9m) still missing, but a return for Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.9m) in midfield means Erik Pieters (£4.2m) can slot in at left-back after several outings on the right wing.

Kevin Long (£4.3m) is the man who continues to deputise for Mee, but his owners were given an arduous few minutes when the team-sheets were announced this afternoon.

Burnley’s official Twitter account posted a line-up which featured an injured Mee at centre-back and Long nowhere to be seen.

However, this was deleted within a few minutes and owners of the budget centre-back were given a reprieve upon discovering that he had, in actual fact, made the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, as interest in Norwich’s squad continues to diminish, Teemu Pukki (£6.4m) is on the bench once again, with Josip Drmic (£5.3m) leading the line supported in attack by Onel Hernández (£5.3m), Todd Cantwell (£4.5m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m).

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Klose, Godfrey, Aarons; Tettey, McLean; O Hernández, Buendía, Cantwell; Drmic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, K Long, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Rodriguez.

    that city line up for the fa cup has left me with no clues as to who starts against Watford! could be mid week carnage, not sure bringing in Silva for a hit was right now! #readyfornextseason!

      Jesus won’t start if he plays 90 here imo

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        He surely won't play 90 imo

      Foden and Bernardo nailed. I’d expect sterling up front with Jesus rested too. Then KDB in midfield with Rodri and Gündogan

  4. DandyDon

    Getting a bit embarrassing for Burnley how little they have created against 9 men

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don’t think I’ve seen one overlap to the touchline

  5. Twisted Saltergater

    Cue Dyche in the post match interview saying it can be tougher playing against 9 men.
